Clever gifs show what our meals will look like if bee populations continue to decline

Bee populations have gradually decreased in recent years, with climate change and pesticides contributing to their decline.

Bees are so important in terms of the production of our food. In fact, The British Beekeepers Association states that as much as one in three mouthfuls of our food is dependent on pollination, in particular by bees.

Breakfast foods dependent on bee pollination:

Almonds - almond blossoms are completely reliant on bee pollination.

Blueberries - 90% of all blueberry crops are pollinated by bees.

Coffee - though the coffee plant is self-pollinating it still needs cross-pollination from bees to develop healthy yields. Coffee would not disappear completely but crops would become weaker and susceptible to disease.
